Re: BREAK IN-alarm success



Sorry to hear that dude, at least they were caught...

This is one of my MAIN concerns, I have been tossing aroung the idea of
getting some rims and skins, and that's is going to make my car look REAL
attractive to scumbucket thieves. Where I live, my car is parked in a
parking lot where it is visible at almost every angle as soon as you enter
my town (slight exaggeration). It is really out in the open, and I couldn't
image have somebody break in, I am 6'1" tall and only weigh about 155
pounds, but I assure you that would be a SERIOUS error in judgment...

Our cars are our babys ;-0
